Default Daily Driver Decision

I must be a Honda Fanboi as the cars that I have been considering for a daily driver have all been falling under the Honda umbrella. If you had a choice between the cars listed above, which would you choose and why?

We'll even say that you get to keep your S as a weekend car if that influences your decision.

Civic Si 4 door. Looked at them at the dealer today and I was very impressed.

I voted for the Fit because I have one as my DD . It has tons of room, gets 35mpg with your foot down, handles great. It is a great value, and WILL hold its value. My first choice for you would have been the TSX if I didn't love my Fit so much.

And I'd take the Civic Si 4 door over a TSX most likely, that is another great value.

I like CR-Vs because it doesn't really matter if you get it a little dirty and it doesn't look like a lunch box.

That's what I like about both the element and CRV. I have a 2-car garage and would like to pick up a second "weekend car" within the next couple of years. A daily driver that I wouldn't mind sticking in the driveway is really what I SHOULD get. I just don't know if I can stand driving a CRV or non-SC Element.

I like the CR-V's to be honest. With that you'll get some ground clearence and about the same amount of room as a fit, if not slightly more. Obviously mpg's will be less, but some CR-V's I've seen with some am goodies looked very slick!

I did have a Fit before. Lately I've been pretty sure that I was going to get a TSX as a daily, but now have been thinking about the other options. The problem with the TSX or Fit is that I worry that I'll lower it too much and it end up not being a good daily.

You can fit bigger wheels on a CR-V!
